Jefferies upgraded Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) from Hold to Buy with a price target of $44.00 (up from $40).

The firm said, "Our survey work suggests only a modest downtick (incl Europe) and we expect an in-line F2Q12 and in-line guide. We are also becoming more positive on suites and think they will positively impact growth next year. Finally, while the stock is not drop-dead cheap, at 15X CY12 EPS (ex net ~$7 cash a share) we think we are buying growth at a reasonable price."
